   If you want to present it so they  can see it, create a PDF book of the   
   family or families.   I use FTM to create books that have the main line   
   family with each maternal family.   I include a table of contents and   
   and index and print it as a PDF file.  In PDF format it can nearly be   
   read by any one with a computer, tablet, or smartphone.   
      
   The book contains all of my notes, comments, and all of the facts on   
   each ancestor.  It also contains text documents with discussions of   
   problem connections, and stories of the family.   
      
   If they all have a copy of some genealogy program like Family Tree Maker   
   or Rootsmagic, then you could just put your database on line and let   
   them down load it.   
      
   You could put it online as a Gedcom file, it can be read by something   
   like Windows Notepad, but is not very user friendly.   
      
   A slightly more user friendly presentation would be jpgs on each person   
   in your tree with the facts and figures.
